dual boot

Back when I was young and foolish and installing Windows 7 I didn't understand the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit and just went with 32-bit and now I'm paying the price for my ignorance. I'd like to correct my past mistakes and upgrade to Windows 10 at the same time, but the process for...

I downloaded the Windows 10 ISO from the website, Because I wanted a fresh install, so I started the installation, but now, when I am done partitioning, it says it cannot install. And I DO NOT want to create a new partition table on this, it has a ton of valuable data, which is too much to...

sorry my english is not 100% I have installed win 10 on a separate hard disk as a test , no big problems. I use separate disks for separate OS-systems ,always at the start of an install of a new OS i uncouple the other disks untill the install is complete then i connect the other disk again. Now...

Hey, so recently I wanted to play some older games that did not work on any windows 7+ so I wanted to install windows vista as a multiboot system, now I saw that there was this warning: Warning You must install the older operating system first, and then install the more recent operating...

Okay new bug, I dual boot fine but each time I boot into windows the time is always wrong. I tried various methods to fix it but for some reason windows wont sync with the time servers. I dont know why, but its bothering me

My dad did the upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows 7. It looks interesting but I like my Windows 7 setup. I don't want to mess it up. So, can I do a clean install of Windows 10 as an upgrade but keep Windows 7 on the same computer in a dual boot setting? That way I can try Windows 10 without...

My situation is usually the opposite of what I've found online. I upgraded to Win 10 and I'm quite comfortable with it, the problem is that a critical application for my job does not work with this platform. As I have space, my preferred option is to dual boot with Win 10 and Win 8.1 on the...

I have dual boot windows 10 and windows 7 setup. windows 10 is the main system. windows 7 is a hard drive taken from old broken laptop. I used bcdedit to set it boot up. windows 7 banner start up for 2 seconds then system would power off and restart. I wanted to see what was loaded on the...

Once in a while, when the moon is high and the stars are aligned i guess Windows 10 full stop freezes with no reason nor any cause during shutdown. It also happens during normal operations once in a while. Its not a memory issue, I mean 12 gigs of ram memory should not be a problem. Its not my...

Hello! I didn't found any other section to post this and I'm running windows 10 on my PC so.. I'm wondering if is this possible! For example 1 partition with windows 10, another one with linux. I start my computer and both systems will run, windows 10 as default system and with a simple...

So, I was in my local PC shop the other day buying an SSD, and the guy at the counter said to me something about being able to run 7 & 10 on the same machine (my current copy of windows 7 and the copy of windows 10 that you get by doing the free upgrade), by like saving your copy of 7 before...

I have Windows 7 Ultimate and it allows you to make a folder for a bootable virtual HD instead of partitioning. You are running on actual hardware not in a virtual machine and dual booting and Windows 7 is still intact. Can windows 10 do this? Joe

Link Removed 0 Sign in to vote I have been using the Windows 10 preview for about 2 months now and everything is running fine except for the network. First I installed the preview on my laptop as a dual boot, with Windows 7 Home on the C: drive and Windows 10 Preview on the D: drive. If I am...

For some time now run a dual boot pc for some time now with Win 7 and Win 10 tech preview. I have upgraded to Win 10. So now what I want to do is uninstall the tech preview and the boot menu. I could just format the tech preview drive but would that leave my boot up clean with just the Win 10...

I'm sure the gurus know how to do this but it is a daunting task for normal users. So, it would be great if one of the many gurus here could provide step by step instructions for the rest of us to go from an existing 8.1 oem factory installation to a dual boot 8.1 and 10. I've done some...

My configuration: Dual boot: W8.1 on a SSD, W7 on a HD, all user files from both W7 and W8.1 are on the W7 HD. The only reason for keeping W7 in the air was a NLE (video editing) which did not function well in a W8 environment. What should be the best / least risky way of upgrading my W8.1 Henk

I'm worried about installing the downloaded Windows 10 and having it overwrite my existing os. Is there a way to install the downloaded W10 in a dual boot with the existing W8.1? I have updated the 8.1 system but I heard that the W10 install deletes the W 8.1 registration so that restoring from...

I currently have Windoes 8.1 installed. I want to add Windows XP and be able to choose between the two at boot up. How should I go about installing Windows XP?

Hello, Sorry if this has been asked and answered but I have a lingering question about running Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 tech preview dual boot. First of all, Windows 8.1 here is an HP OEM. I would like to keep 8.1 as is and upgrade Windows 10 tech preview to the official release when it...

How are things with your performance, so far. I have a dual boot on an old i5 Laptop. These are not sophisticated measurements, only my observations with my own wrist watch. I have found the speed difference, when opening various programs on my PC, almost identical. In fact, Windows 8.1, in a...
